...Inquisition was a page of terrible madness in history, but it was not the same as the racial and class madness that drowned Hitler's Germany and Stalin's Russia in the blood of victims who outnumbered Torquemada's by more than 1,000 to one. Another ex-Communist did rather better. Using the heavier stones of current history, Arthur Koestler built Darkness at Noon into something more than an adult horror comic; he made his book a classic defense against the ogres of absolutism who think that their political faith gives them power over the minds...
...Captain General Agustin Muñoz Grandes, 69, Franco's oldest comrade in arms and the man who, as Vice President of the Spanish state, will take over interim power at Franco's death.

Krupp was released in 1951, after serving only half his sentence...
...soldier (no kidding). Poor Mr. Perkins dreamed of seeing Paris (he nearly has an orgasm when he sights the Eiffel Tower) and just as his eyes water in the Left Bank red-checkered table cloth bistro--right, a sniper. In fact, the only believable role is that of Adolf Hitler, simply because one is prepared to believe anything about...
